Commercial Lighting Equipment

Commercial lights supply illumination that is vital to maintaining an efficient, safe facility. Easy Rack adds daily to its ever-increasing supply of commercial lighting fixtures and accessories that can be purchased by industrial clients directly or bought in bulk by commercial lighting designers working on behalf of industrial clients.

Commercial Lighting Systems
Many clients would rather conserve budget by investing only in commercial lighting supplies and wave the additional cost of a third party installer. Commercial light systems are perfect for these businesses because they provide a simple, step-by-step means of self-installation and configuration.

Parking Lot Lighting Kits
Parking lot light kits are some of the most efficient commercial lighting systems we supply. They are for saving time and money. Parking lot kits allow lighting designers and industrial clients to light their parking facilities with poles, posts, fixtures, lamps, and accessories that are already pre-configured to work together and tested to ensure full government compliance with foot-candle minimums and restriction on glare and light pollution.

Commercial Warehouse Lights
Easy Rack’s selection of commercial lighting supplies for warehouse lighting includes High Intensity Discharge fixtures (HID) and High Pressure Sodium Lights (HPS). These commercial warehouse, security, and floodlights produce some of the most brilliant and effective illumination in the world.

HID Ballasts, Capacitors & Igniters
It is wise to keep on hand a good supply of commercial lighting replacement HID ballasts, capacitors, and igniters so you can quickly replace any warehouse lighting fixtures or components that may fail in the course of operation.

Electrical Wires & Cables
Easy Rack supplies commercial lighting wires and cables in both low voltage and high voltage capacitance and supplies a wide range of sizes and lengths so you may safely power whatever lighting fixtures your facility uses.

Sign and Facade Lighting Fixtures
Your sign and your building facade are powerful forms of advertising that should never be neglected. Easy Rack supplies commercial lighting fixtures specifically engineered for lighting the company brand on the front of your building or the sign at the entrance of your gate.

HID Wall Packs
Wall packs install on the sides of your building and maintain an even perimeter of light all around its perimeter. Easy Rack’s supply of commercial lighting wall packs is highly diverse and inventoried to meet the needs of small, mid-sized, and large multi-site industrial and distribution clients.

Commercial Worklights

They are critical to worker safety and effective labor results. Easy Rack inventories a variety of tower and tripod-mounted Work lights equipped with powerful halogen lights with powerful beams optimal for nighttime production.

High Bay Warehouse Lighting

Soccer Field Lighting Equipment

Easy Rack is a single source depot for soccer field lights, equipment, and poles and mounting arms needed to optimize the visibility of the game itself and keep your field or stadium in full compliance with foot-candle regulatory codes mandated to ensure player safety and reduce light pollution.

The foot candle is the standard of measurement for all athletic sports field lighting equipment. One foot candle is equal to one lumen spread over one square foot of cubic space. Outdoor lighting fixtures and accessories ranging from parking lot lights to sports and security lighting are controlled by government regulations that specify foot-candle minimums. Because foot candles require special equipment to measure, Easy Rack strongly recommends you consult with a lighting specialist who has this equipment in order to ensure your soccer field lights meet with municipal lighting codes and the recommendations of the US Soccer Foundation. Since so many soccer games are played at night, it is necessary to safeguard player safety by having a professional calculate the level of foot candles needed for the size of the field and the number of spectators.

Also, keep in mind that lighting a professional soccer field requires a much greater level of illumination than lighting a recreational field. For instance, if you intend to light a soccer field that is used only for practice without spectators, a field that measures 180’ X 330’ will usually only require 30 foot candles of light. A professional soccer stadium, by contrast, will need more than twice the lighting- approximately 75 foot-candles.

Another factor that is very important to efficient soccer field lighting is precise determination of equipment voltage levels. Fixtures with multi-tap ballasts provide the greatest flexibility for soccer field lighting. Easy Rack sports lights are configured with multi-tap ballasts that produce 120, 208, 240, and 277 volts respectively. We also supply models that are fitted with 480-volt ballast for full-sized professional stadiums.

It is important to work with an Easy Rack specialist who can help you determine the appropriate voltage level for your facility and match the lamp to the ballast. High voltage commercial lighting equipment can be dangerous if guesswork if you substitute guesswork for sound math and engineering advice.

Finally, the material build and height of soccer field lighting poles is a crucial factor in generating optimal illumination for your practice field or stadium. US Soccer Foundation recommendations state that the best poles are made from galvanized steel. You can obtain these outdoor light poles from Easy Rack in a variety of heights and models, and you can also obtain all appropriate mounting accessories, including right angle cross arms that will hold two soccer field lighting fixtures on a single pole.

When properly fitted and ballasted, Easy Rack soccer field lights will also make the game more enjoyable for spectators and reduce potential nuisance to surrounding housing developments. Our metal halide fixtures are equipped with advanced reflector arrays that direct the light toward desired locations along the field and eliminate light pollution that otherwise could shine into the windows of sleeping, next door neighbors. This not only makes the game more enjoyable to people who visit your arena, but it also will minimize neighborhood complaints from those who will certainly be annoyed if your soccer field or parking lot light kits shine into their windows.

Volleyball Court Lighting

Volleyball is an extremely popular sport and providing a commercial lighting system is essential to this highly competitive sport. While playing volleyball during the day is fun, night games bring a new aspect to the game play. Managers and owners of sporting venues of volleyball courts know that having the playing court field well lighted increases the amount of use it gets; thus growing its usability. Volleyball court lighting helps you get the greatest amount of use from your court, and everything that you need to install your volleyball court lighting can be found online at Easy Rack.

Before you install your commercial athletic sports lighting system from Easy Rack for the volleyball court, you will need to be aware of several considerations. First, review your electrical capabilities. Unless you are an construction professional, it is best to contract an licensed electrician to install, mount and set up your volleyball court commercial lighting equipment. Secondly, what size volleyball court are you lighting and does it require higher light levels for television coverage?

Standard volleyball courts are 60 feet by 30 feet, and there is typically ten feet of out of bounds space around all the sides. This means that you will need to acquire enough athletic sports lighting equipment for a 50' by 80' space. The safety of both the spectators and the players depends upon having the proper commercial lighting for the volleyball court.
Easy Rack makes it simple for you to select a complete volleyball lighting package designed to meet your needs. Our lighting designers can provide photometric point by point calculations and a formal fixture layouts to satisfy your light requirements.
